Spanish side are favourites for European glory in sports betting markets.
Bookmakers have installed Barcelona as favourites to lift the Champions League trophy following the Spanish side's victory over Chelsea last night (May 6th).An injury-time goal from Andres Iniesta saw Barcelona reach the final in dramatic circumstances after drawing 1-1 with the Premier League side in the semi-final second leg at Stamford Bridge.
With last week's first leg in the Catalan capital finishing goalless, Iniesta's strike cancelled out a stunning opener from Chelsea's Michael Essien to give Barcelona a crucial away goal.

They go on to face Manchester United in the final on May 27th, with William Hill pricing Pep Guardiola's side at 8/11 and making the English club an even money bet.
Barcelona are also 9/1 to win on penalties, while punters backing United can get 10/1 on an extra-time victory for Sir Alex Ferguson's men.
After Chelsea's near miss, William Hill is offering 7/2 that both Champions League finalists are English clubs next year.
